The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 27

Ch 27: Wen Xiang’s Fury

Inside the high-end guest room at the back of the Longxi Exchange.

Wen Xiang lay on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind constantly replaying the scenes of him being scammed, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

Every time he saw Xi Yang buying rough stones, he would reveal an attitude that he had to buy them, speaking eloquently, as if that stone was a priceless treasure, and missing it would mean losing millions. And he always fell into the traps carefully set by Xi Yang time and time again.

What he didn’t know was that in Xi Yang’s eyes, his inner thoughts were as obvious as if they were written on his face. As long as he dug a small pit for him, he would jump into it without hesitation.

If his subordinates hadn’t reminded him to open a few stones to take a look, he would probably still be in the dark, thinking he had bought a pile of high-quality rough stones.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth in anger, secretly cursing in his heart, “This beast is simply not human! Scamming me like this, you won’t die a good death!” As he spoke, he angrily picked up the cushion on the sofa and threw it out, smashing the things in the room into a mess.

A bodyguard pushed the door open and came in, “Young Master, is that kid about to leave?”

“How are the arrangements at the gate?” Wen Xiang asked murderously.

“Everything is arranged. The back door is also blocked. Unless this kid flies away, don’t even think about running!”

When Wen Xiang heard this, he immediately stood up with his crutches, and said with gritted teeth, “Let’s go, this time I will skin him alive!”

As he spoke, he led his men to the first floor.

On the stage of the first floor venue, Huang Shiman was squatting alone in the corner of the stage, crying loudly.

Xiao Lan looked anxiously at her from the side, but she couldn’t do anything.

The onlookers pointed and whispered at her.

“Isn’t this Boss Huang of Huang’s Rough Stone Shop? I heard she spent 70 million to buy a stone king, but who knew that when she cut it open, it was all Yellow Level low-grade crystal stones, and most of it was waste. The price of the entire rough stone is only about five or six million. She lost everything, what a pity!”

“Who isn’t? There aren’t many good stone kings this time. There are still a few people outside who want to jump off the building. Let’s go! Don’t we who like stone gambling like this feeling?”

……

Xi Yang walked through the crowd and saw Huang Shiman with tears in her eyes and covered in dirt, obviously rolling on the ground. Being stimulated to this point, this matter was a huge blow to her.

Xi Yang slowly squatted beside her and said, “Have you cried enough?”

Huang Shiman sobbed, “Am I very stupid? How could I not see through such an obvious layout? Why did I fall for their tricks! Why didn’t I listen to you? I’m so stupid, boo hoo hoo!”

Xi Yang said calmly, “When I was young, Grandpa told me a story about a wealthy man with a lot of property who was asked by a general to hand over all his assets. The rich man was desperate, so he found a fortune teller to calculate his chances of survival. The fortune teller said that He Xiucai, a scholar in the east of the village, might have a solution.

So, the rich man spent a lot of money and went three times in a row. Finally, He Xiucai agreed to help him, but afterwards, he needed to give half of all his property to the scholar, and he also had the villagers as witnesses.

A few days later, the general led his men and horses to demand the property. He Xiucai stepped forward and, with his eloquent tongue, not only made the general retreat, but also promised never to come again.

After this incident, He Xiucai asked the rich man for half of his wealth. The rich man refused, saying that it was too expensive and he couldn’t afford it!

He Xiucai brought the villagers who had testified to reason with the rich man.

Who knew that these villagers had already been bought off by the rich man. The villagers, who were originally full of promises, turned around and said that everything was fabricated by the scholar and that there was no such thing at all.

In the end, these villagers beat He Xiucai in front of the rich man.

Everyone knew that it was the rich man who didn’t keep his promise, but in the end, it was the scholar who suffered!”

Huang Shiman stopped crying and asked softly, “This shouldn’t be the end of the story, right?”

Xi Yang nodded, “At the end of the story, the scholar couldn’t hold back his anger and ran to persuade the general to come back. The general, in a fit of rage, not only robbed the rich man of all his property, but also bloodbathed the village, and the scholar was not spared either!”

“What do you want to tell me?” Huang Shiman asked.

“In this story, the scholar, the villagers, and the rich man, who do you think is innocent?” Xi Yang asked back.

“They all deserve it!” Huang Shiman shook her head and replied.

“Then, do you think the general is right?”

“This…” Huang Shiman looked at him blankly, not knowing how to answer.

Xi Yang smiled, “There is a saying that greed makes people stupid. In the face of interests, all kindness, right and wrong, and reason will be vulnerable! People who lose their judgment will eventually have nothing.”

Huang Shiman stood up, patted the dust off her body, and the sadness on her face disappeared, returning to her strong woman posture. “Xi Yang, thank you!”

Xi Yang smiled slightly, “You are my boss, helping you is helping myself!”

She took a step forward and hugged Xi Yang, and said softly, “If you were older, I would definitely be your girlfriend!” After saying that, her pretty face turned red, and she quickly ran away.

Wen Xiang, who was walking not far away with a team of people, happened to see this scene, and his eyes turned red with anger. He shouted loudly to the bodyguards behind him, “If this kid runs away today! None of you will be working here anymore!”

When the bodyguards heard this, they immediately rushed up and surrounded Xi Yang.

Wen Xiang stared at Xi Yang with fire in his eyes, “Good kid, seducing my woman and scamming my money. I’ve never been bullied like this in my life. If you can walk out of the Longxi Exchange alive today, I, Wen Xiang, will take your last name!”

Xi Yang glanced at the menacing crowd and couldn’t help but sigh. Huang Shiman had already left after thanking him. Besides, facing this crazed Wen Xiang, what could she do?

“If you dare to kill me, aren’t you afraid of the Dragon Kingdom Law?” he said calmly.

Wen Xiang grinned, “As long as no evidence is left behind, what can the Dragon Kingdom Law do? This is my territory! I have countless ways to make a person disappear! Get him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several bodyguards rushed up.

“Stop!” A loud female voice rang out.

Then a woman in a pink dress ran over. She slapped Wen Xiang in the face as soon as she arrived in front of him.

Wen Xiang, stunned by the slap, stared blankly at the woman in front of him, “Sister, why did you hit me?”

When the bodyguards heard this, they immediately said in unison, “Hello, Miss Wen!”

The woman turned her head and smiled at Xi Yang.

Xi Yang’s heart skipped a beat. He said with a wry smile, “Teacher Wenrou, why are you here?”

Wen Rou came to Xi Yang with a smile, then pinched Xi Yang’s ear, and the smile on her face instantly turned into anger, “You still know that I am your teacher. What kind of test paper did you write for me on Friday? It made me work overtime all day and now I’m full of fire.”

When Xi Yang heard this, he asked blankly, “I wrote it very seriously!”

Wen Xiang interrupted from the side, “Sister, this kid is bullying your brother. Aren’t you going to care about it? Instead, you care about his grades!”

When Wen Rou heard this, she let go of Xi Yang, turned around and slapped him twice, “Get lost, I know what kind of person you are. If you don’t go back to sleep, I’ll break your legs!”

The bodyguards watching from the side looked at this scene with a dumbfounded expression, their faces full of disbelief.

Wen Xiang covered his face, looked at Wen Rou with a face full of resentment, gave Xi Yang a fierce look, and left with his men.

A bodyguard asked, “Are we just leaving like this, letting that kid go?”

“Let him go? No way. After my sister leaves, we’ll deal with him again!” Wen Xiang glanced at everyone and said angrily.

Watching them leave, Xi Yang asked, “Teacher Wenrou, why are you here?”

Wen Rou rubbed her forehead and said, “It was Han Cheng that kid who asked me to save you!” As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and questioned, “Tell me, why did you use classical Chinese for the math exam, and write it column by column from the left? Do you know how long it took me to correct your test paper?”

When Xi Yang heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face, recalling the test paper he wrote during the exam, which were all in classical Chinese.

He cupped his fists and bowed, “Teacher Wenrou, I was wrong!”
